Thorne Dreyer's guests are Cleve and Sweet Mary Hattersley of the legendary Austin band, Greezy Wheels, members of the Austin Music Hall of Fame. Cleve and Sweet Mary perform, we play some music from their new cd, "Ain't Quite Like That," and we talk about Cleve's new book, Life is a Butt Dial -- and about their upcoming Merry Kinksters Tour with Kinky Friedman.

Founded in the early '70s, Greezy Wheels is one of Austin's most iconic bands. Greezy played some of the most important shows and events in Austin music history, including the breakout shows for Willie Nelson and Bruce Springsteen at the Armadillo World Headquarters. Cleve Hattersley was in the Haight Ashbury in the '60s, worked legendary clubs in Greenwich Village and for Bill Graham at the Fillmore East, and ran both the Lone Star Café and the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York. A longtime associate of Kinky Friedman, he managed two of Kinky's political campaigns and traveled the world with the Kinkster.
